Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: "Yes" To Martinez, Floyd, Mosley - "No" Marquez

[jtiger78]

Pac fought Margacheato at 150... and Pac says he is WILLING to fight Martinez the same weight as his last fight... and though they already said a week ago they will not go beyond 147 coz Pac getting slow beyond 147 but Pac still willing to go on the same weight of his last fight.... so whats the problem? Pac already have huge disadvantage on height, then haters still want to have huge disadvantage on weight and speed? just put gun on Manny's head so hater will rejoice? lol

But no questions asked, Martinez definitely is the Fighter of the Year

his height disadvantage was not an issue vs marg

martinez is 5'11 and so is marg? where are all these excuses coming from hes a champ in that division soooooo?

we can get on floyds shinanigans about fighting people in his division all day and he doesnt even hold a belt!!! but when it comes to pac defending his 154 title against martinez the excuses fly?

8 division title holder may ass

Pacquiao official ducks JMM.

This fool has the nerve to say "nobody will watch the fight", but would fight Mosley and Martinez. How many PPV's has Mosley and Martinez sold? Martinez just fought in front of 5000 people on HBO. JMM has sold over 100K PPV's as the star on the card. Mosley has never been a draw and never will be a draw. The guy can't even sell out his own hometown in Cali.

does or does not martinez fight at 154?

does pac have a belt in that division?

why not fight at 154 or at least a catch weight of 153 or 152 if u did it with marg?

why does the fight have to be below 150 but marg wasnt told to?

Martinez said after the fight that he’d be willing to fight at a catch weight of 156 lbs., which is five pounds heavier than the weight for the recent Pacquiao vs Margarito fight. Pacquiao, of course, could weigh in at whatever weight he’s comfortable with as long as he doesn’t go over 156. Martinez would likely weigh in at the limit, but he’s not a big middleweight. He weighed in at 157 ¼ lbs. for last the williams bout and rehydrated 10 ¼ lbs. If he did the same against Pacquiao he’d come in at 166 ¼.

This means even if Pacquiao entered the ring at the same weight as last week (148 lbs.), Martinez would have a weight advantage of 18 ¼ lbs. Margarito came in at 165 and had a 17 lb. advantage over Pacquiao when the fight started. It’s not too much of a difference and Pacquiao could make it up by coming in the ring at 150.

sooooo how is it that martinez is just all of a sudden to big? is it because he actually moves around? whats the deal?

pac said he'll fight at 150, where did u get the whole it has to be below 150 from? the pac and marg fight was a catch weight at 150. if martinez agreed to this then its on, if not then fight wont happen and martinez need to fight someone his size, why are they even bringing up pac's name?

[Pullcounter]

does or does not martinez fight at 154?

he's fought at 160 lbs a couple days ago

does pac have a belt in that division?

a paper title. it's worthless

why not fight at 154 or at least a catch weight of 153 or 152 if u did it with marg?

uh... the catchweight w/ marg was 150 lbs, not 153 or 152...

why does the fight have to be below 150 but marg wasnt told to?

I'm thinking 150 will be the catchweight

Martinez said after the fight that he’d be willing to fight at a catch weight of 156 lbs., which is five pounds heavier than the weight for the recent Pacquiao vs Margarito fight.

6 lbs actually. the catchweight was 150 lbs.

Pacquiao, of course, could weigh in at whatever weight he’s comfortable with as long as he doesn’t go over 156. Martinez would likely weigh in at the limit, but he’s not a big middleweight. He weighed in at 157 ¼ lbs. for last the williams bout and rehydrated 10 ¼ lbs. If he did the same against Pacquiao he’d come in at 166 ¼.

yeah, but marg weighed in at 150 lbs and rehydrated to 165 lbs... the question to counter your claim is, why can't martinez do the same?

sooooo how is it that martinez is just all of a sudden to big? is it because he actually moves around?

whats the deal?

cause marg could actually make 150 lbs, martinez can't.

150 lbs is pac's number. 156 is martinez's number. guess what that means?


















this fight is never gonna happen!!!!

just give it up.

During a recent interview with ABS-CBN, Manny Pacquiao was asked questions regaring several potential opponents. Prior to the questions on opponents, Pacquiao made it clear that he is not going to retire and plans to fight again by the month of May. He was also asked the question of the hour, whether or not he would consider fighting WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez.

Pacquiao is smart and I'm glad that he's not retiring. He brings a lot of excitment to the sport and realizes that beating Marquez does nothing for him at this point.

[Bastian Loc]

Martinez should man up and get down to 149. At this point it just looks like he's ducking Pac.

Pacquiao official ducks JMM.

nope

This fool has the nerve to say "nobody will watch the fight"

it won't sell. jmm ain't ***** above 135 lbs.

, but would fight Mosley and Martinez.

arum sells the mosley fight as "pac fights an african american"

arum sells the martinez fight as "pac fights the MW champ"

How many PPV's has Mosley and Martinez sold? Martinez just fought in front of 5000 people on HBO. JMM has sold over 100K PPV's as the star on the card. Mosley has never been a draw and never will be a draw. The guy can't even sell out his own hometown in Cali.

all great points... Mosley and Martinez can't sell when they are the A-side of the promotion...

however mosley is a proven seller as the B-side of any promotion.

honestly, i don't like any of these fights. I prefer pac fight berto or the winner of bradley/devon

Not only that, but JMM vs. Pacquiao 2 did what? 500k buys? This was before Pacquiao was a star after the DLH fight. This is a big money fight. He knows he can drain Martinez, and Mosley, and that they can easily duck Mayweather. With Marquez however he can't drain Marquez and the fight needs to happen at 140 or below or people will realize Pacquiao is just as bad a Mayweather. They don't want that to happen.

"No one wants to see that fight." Really Manny? Put that fight on and I guarantee you it would be your biggest PPV. People are not ****** people know Marquez got robbed the 2nd fight, that fight left so many questions and people are interested in the fight. Truth is JMM was Pacquiao's biggest challenged, he was gifted a decision. He wants NO PART OF JMM.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Marquez is a bigger threat than Mosley.

my question is for the last time why is martinez all of a sudden to big but marg wasnt?

i was saying why not make it at 153 or 152 if u did marg at 150

but the fact is HE HOLDS A TITLE AT 154 IN THE 154 DIVISION WHY IS 150 EVEN A DEMAND???????? WE ALL KNOW THEY REHYDRATE ANYWAY! WHY IS MARTINEZ TOO BIG FOR PAC BUT MARG WASNT? ANSWER IT....
